Lead- Design Enablement

Micron Technology • Boise, ID

3d • Hybrid

About The Position

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever. Coordinate the work of engineers from multiple groups including Process Integration, Scribe Design, Mask Technology and Electrical Characterization and across several geographies to develop Design Rules, Requirements, Test Structures and improve process margin for all DRAM generations from early development until manufacturing ceases. Manage effort to build and evaluate test structures to provide data for next generation devices and to quantify process margin on current devices. Define sub-milestones for the project within the layout schedule and work with the various teams to achieve the targets and time-lines. Pro-actively identify and address process issues and process window vs. die size issues stemming from specific database layout or layout techniques. Partner with Design, Product Engineering, Process integration, Business Units and Quality groups to optimize PPAC (Performance, Power, Area, Cost) for all Micron DRAM products. Assure that the right DRC’s (Design Rule Checks) are in place, assure appropriate reaction to deviation from established design rules. Strategically partner with multiple teams and fields to understand process issues related to the database layout, and prioritize development of solutions with Process Integration, Advanced Mask Design, Scribe & Frame, Layout & Design. Summarize sophisticated problems, derive and explain actions taken to address them. Drive effective multi-functional communication on issue resolution, and support across node Design Rule alignment. Maintain and implement meaningful communication between Process Integration, Product Engineering, Design, and Advanced Mask teams. Improve timely documentation of the R&D activities with regard to design rule improvements for transfer to parts still in design. May telecommute part-time. 50% domestic and international travel is required. Employer will accept a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and 5 years of progressive, post-baccalaureate experience in the job offered or related occupation.
